Baby steps..
Not good enough.
Not enough flashes in 6 games.
Point blank, He's a bust.
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/writer...han-just-a-shrine-for-kobe-bryant-this-seasonBut in an interview with CBS Sports on Saturday at John Jay College, where Bryant dragged his aching body for a 2 1/2 hour practice between games, he disputed the notion that all of his shots and demands are detracting from the future plan.
"They're one in the same," he said. "Because they learn by observing how I approach it. They don't want to see me approach it as an average player, or approach it as a player who's 20 years in. They want to and need to see that focus and that intensity and that energy and that drive. That's how they learn. They've told me that. They want to see that. That's how they want to learn."
Undoubtedly, there are aspects of Bryant's preparation and approach that Russell and Randle can absorb. The question is, at what cost?
Another thing. Lou Williams is not a good fit for this team. In terms of chuckers, Swaggy actually fits the best, and has done the most to fit in. (Yes long season still awaits, and could still change).
But Lou Will takes from Russell & Clarkson as much as Kobe does. Kobe has high usage, but he isn't primary ball handler when he's out there. At least with Nick, he's strictly a 2nd unit guy, at this point he's only out there for 3s, and is not taking minutes from anybody but Anthony Brown, and truth be told, Brown should have taken the year in the DLeague anyway.
Maybe, Lou Williams shouldn't be touching the court with Russell & Clarkson, and that allows the young guys to trade off being the guy. Whether it's with Kobe or Nick at the 3 for Russell & Clarkson. When you throw in Lou, with Clarkson or Russell, he becomes primary ball handler, and that's not optimal.
how swayKobe need to go closer to the basket.
Kobe need to gocloser to the basketaway.

Interesting match ups tonight; Russell vs Dragic, Kobe vs Wade/Deng/Winslow, Randle vs Bosh/McRoberts, Hibbert vs Whiteside
